Brazilian President Bolsonaro's chief of staff Onyx Lorenzoni told Globo News, a Brazilian publication, that Brazil would reject the $22 million aid package, suggesting that the money instead be used to reforest Europe.

Lorenzoni also made a dig at France's President Emmanuel Macron, suggesting he could not stop a "predictable" fire in a church, in reference to the fire that decimated Notre Dame Cathedral in April.

A spokesperson of Brazil's Presidential Palace confirmed to ABC News that an offer of aid from the G-7 nations had yet to be made official, but that if it did, the offer would be rejected.

This comes after Brazil's Environment Minister Ricardo Salles indicated that Brazil would welcome aid from G-7 nations in an interview with reporters in São Paulo on Monday, according to Reuters.

The G-7 – made up of the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan – announced the aid on Monday at their recent summit in Biarritz as part of a joint international initiative to protect the Amazon. Macron also said that G-7 nations were working on a similar initiative to combat forest fires in sub-Saharan Africa.

As well as the G-7's $22 million, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said his government would be providing an additional $12.2 million, with Canada also pledging an extra $11 million to help combat the Amazon forest fires. This would bring the total aid package up to $40 million.
